The PEF Jewish Committee extends an invitation to all PEF members to attend a Purim celebration Wednesday, March 7, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the New York City PEF Office, 100 William Street, 17th floor.

The event will include a reading from the Book of Esther, describing the survival of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from the threat of annihilation by the powerful and evil Haman.

Along with the story of Purim, the event will include Jewish traditions including music, graggers (noisemakers), costumes and Kosher food.
